FCA to resume preparatory operations at Melfi plant in Italy from Monday
An average of 750 workers of Fiat Chrysler Melfi assembly plant in southern Italy will be back to work next week to prepare the facility for the final development of the group’s new hybrid cars, a union representative said on Friday. Marco Lomio, of UILM union, said the automaker had informed unions that workers would have to complete cars left unfinished on assembly lines when the plant was shut in mid-March following rules imposed by Rome to stem the coronavirus spread. “We’ll start with 500 people on Monday and we’ll peak on Wednesday with around 1.000 workers,” Lomio said.
